seem intolerable, yet he dared not stop,
lest he lose his course.
Then, faint and far away, he heard a

made out two blasts in close sequence.
Risking a deflection from his course, he
crouched in the bottom of the boat, shield-

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.
Beauty is nature's brag, and must be shown
In courts and feasts and high solemnities,
Where most may wonder at its workmanship.
— Milton.
To the woman with the small
dress allowance there is a rosier prospect
than ever, and it is embodied in the pret-
ty cotton imitations of foulard. irs
is a softness of fabric and and a clear-
ness of design and, tco, an excellence of
pattern that places them very nearly on
ia pa with silk itself.
t is quite possible to so trim the cotton
foulard with good linen lace or with fold-
ed bias linen of a plain color that it will
serve the pu e of a foulard, and there
is no objection to doing this if their
be no tawdriness in the design aad orna-
mentation. For instance, it would be an
evidence of poor taste to put nich lace or

_A very dainty and gift for the

end is a linen shirt-waist case made to
fit into the cover of her suitcase. It is
yery pretty in dark linen embroidered or
ded in white, then bound with nar-
now white tape and fastened by means
of frogs and pear! buttons. The case will
hold several shirtwaists, and should be
strapped into the suitcase. No pattern
is needed, as there is nothing to put out.
A smaller case might well be used for a
man's shirts, and makes a good going:

The square Dutch neck is a serious
rival to the sailor collar as a finish to
bathing suits this season. On the beach
the latter is undoubtedly the more jaun-
) looking, but in the water—and, in-
eed, after a wetting—the neat square
neck is the most desirable.
A bathing suit of good mohair (black
and blue) made in semi-princess fashion,
the full, plain skirt trimmed around the
bottom with a band of white mohair,out-
lined with black and white fancy braid,
would be serviceable. A well shaped
panel placed down the front, and the belt
to correspond with the skirt trimming
would be a desirable finish. The square
neck finished with a broad band of mo-
hair, trimmed with three rows of the
braid. The sleeves puffs.
